Laziness and Cowardice

If I am not yet ready, then I will never be:

"Laziness and cowardice are the reasons why such a large part of mankind gladly remain minors all their lives, long after nature has freed them from external guidance. They are the reasons why it is so easy for others to set themselves up as guardians. It is so comfortable to be a minor." - Charles White, The Enlightened Soldier.
